To learn vocabulary for comprehension effectively: 1. Focus on High-Frequency Words: Study common words in academic and comprehension contexts. 2. Use Past Passages: Practice with old comprehension texts to spot recurring vocabulary. 3. Learn Synonyms: Memorize synonyms of common words, as passages often vary word choice. 4. Use Context Clues: Train yourself to infer meanings based on surrounding words. This approach makes it more likely you'll encounter words you know in comprehension exercises.
I focus on teaching vocabulary within context. Instead of just presenting a list of words, I often use short stories, articles, or dialogues relevant to the students' interests. By encountering new words in context, students can better understand their meanings and how they're used in sentences, which significantly aids comprehension. 😎

Reading out loud and creating sentences with new vocabulary to make sure you can contextualize it correctly would be my first tip.

I recommend using flashcards app Quizlet From my perspectives the better way to memorize a new vocabulary is to have a live conversation with native speaker. When I have a conversation in person, I memorize unfamiliar words better.
hi dear ! you can use them in your conversation and give your self story to feel comfortable . even myself as a English tutor I always try to talk with myself in my comfort zone and when i want to make decision i try to use words i want to memorize so you can use this way too!
If you are trying to learn new words/categories of words (example; kitchen vocabulary, animal vocabulary, etc), you should… 1. Watch videos about them (authentic content as well as content made for language studies) 2. Read them (read articles, stories, or even make a list of the new words and their meanings to refer to) 3. Write them (write stories/diary entries including the words) 4. Say them (out loud to yourself or in a conversation with another person) Overall, the best way to learn and retain words is to use them!
